Anniversary

This week marks the one year anniversary of Jerome and I moving to Hawaii. I can't believe it's already been a year--it went by so quickly! My 13 months in South Carolina felt like fooorrreeevverrrr and these 12 months on the island has just FLOWN by. In one year, we've done so much. Jerome made rank and has gotten his dolphins (yay!). I found a great school to work at that treats me just like ohana and I love going to work. We're expecting our first baby in about 10 weeks. We've made some really good friends who I'm starting to be able to depend on and trust more. Jerome's career as a sailor is in full force and I'm adjusting (much better than I had imagined) to the Navy/deployment lifestyle. We've had numerous visitors, so home is never too far away. Life is good--and a year ago today, we were scared to death coming to the island, to a new life. I look forward to the next couple of years to see what this Navy life and island has to offer us.

On an even more cheerful note, WE'RE HALF WAY THROUGH THIS DEPLOYMENT!! WEEEEEE!!!
